IntroductionWhile tracking is a powerful determinant of educational inequality, scholarship pays little attention to tracking-related experiences. Tracking-related experiences of students reveal their challenges and coping mechanisms. Consequently, one learns the fundamentals of the agency.

Between educational and economic success and discrimination, Asian Indians constitute an interesting population to study tracking.MethodsData are derived from 177 in-depth interviews with participants from four sample points. And they are analyzed qualitatively using the grounded theory method.ResultsTracking-related experiences of second-generation Asian Indian students are characterized by a challenge that reflects discrimination featuring the Indian identity.DiscussionThis study extends the theories on educational inequality and racial microaggression.
